Nourished Children, Families, and Communities

Innovations and Interventions for Lifelong Health

At the Friedman School, research extends beyond the lab and touches the lives of people locally, nationally, and internationally. We focus on creating long-term solutions to establish communities and environments in which people can thrive. From teaching children about healthy food and physical activity and empowering families to advocate for healthier environments, to encouraging innovative food production techniques abroad, we know how to successfully bring effective, evidence-based programs to scale.

Goal II: Reduce nutrition-related health inequities.

Promote research and advocacy efforts that focus on urban food issues, taking advantage of our downtown Boston location, urban-based agriculture, food, and environment work, urban school and worksite wellness research, and the global work of the Feinstein International Center.

Goal III: Unite research and interventions that focus on families, households, and communities.

Bring together the complementary expertise of the Friedman School, HNRCA, and Feinstein International Center faculty to catalyze new projects across different ages, populations, and community settings.
